About the Free Summer Lunch Program

Drawing inspiration from the nationwide “No Kid Hungry” campaign, which seeks to end childhood hunger in America, the Social Services Agency (SSA) is committed to connecting children with nutritious food. For 1 out of 3 children in Alameda County who face the threat of hunger, the stability and nutrition offered through school-sponsored food programs end when school lets out for summer vacation. SSA offers the free lunch program as a sponsor of the California Department of Education’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). SFSP aims to alleviate the nutrition gap during the summer months for children living in geographic areas where at least 50 percent of the students are eligible to receive free or reduced-price school meals. SFSP sites include schools, camps, Indian tribal governments, private non-profit agencies, as well as municipal, state, county, or local government offices.
